In 1790 Anton Reiss installed an organ for the Kostel Nanebevzeti Panny Marie in Nový Bor, also called Haida at this time. The organ was originally built in 1766 for the Charles Borromeo Church in Prague. This church was closed in 1785 and converted into a military warehouse. The organ was removed in 1788, and the church was later demolished. Only the three-part organ case with the front pipes remains of this organ. In 1895, Heinrich Schiffner installed a new interior in the cases with mechanical action and conical chests. The bellows were renewed in 1924 by the Gebrüder Rieger from Jägerndorf (Krnov).
